Burgers, Sandwiches and Friends

Tarragon ricotta, avocado, sundried tomatoes and scrambled eggs (originally sunny eggs, but I added $1 to make a swap) on a sesame bagel. Lovely creamy combination, with subtle flavours that go well together.

Circuit breaker has got me going to TMBH more frequently now, as it's a perfect take-out option. Shrooms is great for anyone who liked mushrooms and tomatoes. It has a thick, juice piece of portobello and really tasty sundried tomato relish, and is completed with a mozzarella patty, arugula and balsamic vinegar. It may have no meat but it packs lots of flavour and is filling.

Mackie melt on an all sorts bagel. This is so good. Huge amount of shredded mackerel in tartar sauce, combined with tomatoes, onions and a slide of cheddar cheese. Onions were dressed in a tasty sauce as well. Everything went well together to make a satisfying meal.

I like the creamy egg mayo, and the addition of lettuce and tomato slices. Can't really taste the cheese, and it wasn't toasted enough, but it still made for a satisfying breakfast. There are other filling options too, and the sandwich is 20 cents less if you choose white bread rather than wholemeal.

Lean jean on a seeded bagel. This has scrambled egg whites, smashed avocado, turkey sausage, tomato relish and lemon vinaigrette. Everything went together so well – the fluffy egg whites, the spiced Turkey sausage, and the tart tomato relish.

If you're planning to go to TMBH anytime soon, please note that they're only accepting takeaways currently due to the COVID-19 restrictions. Great job on being a socially responsible small business!

PBJ on a sesame bagel. Chunky peanut butter and jam with actual berries, generously smeared on two halves of a nicely toasted, crisp bagel. I'm not ashamed to admit I licked off the PB and J stains on the wrapper at the end!

This is the third TMBH outlet and I think its the best one so far. Each outlet has different ingredients in their bagels, and this one has really unique ones. Take Biggie Smalls for instance – flank, balsamic caramelized onions, mint gremolata, charred broccoli stew and aioli. I had mine in a seeded bagel and all the ingredients went well together.

Like the other two outlets, this one is small and crowded with a long queue, but it does have better fans and more indoor seating compared to the other outlets. I went at 1pm on a Monday and all the seats were taken, so I stood at the central table and it was still fairly comfortable.

Big sandwich with lots of fillings. Satisfying and filling.

Comes with a choice of tea or coffee too. Scrambled eggs were slightly runny, with just enough cheese to give a nice cheese pull without being overwhelming. Bread was of a nice thickness to sink my teeth into.

The staff insisted this is the Hawaiian teriyaki burger, but it has no pineapple, so I don't know what it is. Maybe roasted sesame. Buns were nicely toasted. The patty was juicy and tasty but strangely the edges were so hard that I couldn't chew them. I suspect this may be a one-off problem as I've never seen it raised in other reviews. I still enjoyed the burger.

This has been a favourite since I discovered it 7 years ago. I'm not sure what the patty is made of, I think it's beetroot and potato, but it's thick and dense and slightly sweet and pairs beautifully with the chili jam (which isn't spicy and is more of jam than chili). I chose wholemeal linseed bread, and also ordered a cup of chamomile tea ($4.50).

All the burgers we tried, whether vegetarian/vegan or meat, were delicious. I had the wohlfein ($16), a vegetarian burger with a walnut patty, cheddar cheese, ingonberries and more walnuts. The patty was tasty and the walnuts provided a nice crunch. I topped up $9 for a set, which came with a side (I got geleit, a salad) and an alcoholic drink (I got the cocktail glucksbringer).
